NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 2, Feb. 27, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Jeff Hurd Before basketball’s March Madness descends upon us, it is a little amazing that some Division I baseball teams are approaching the 20-game mark (notably Kansas at 9-7-1 through Feb. 23 and Cal Poly at 12- 4 prior to its Feb. 25-29 games). Before you know it, the NCAA Regionals will be upon us. This absolutely is one of the busiest but most intriguing times of the college sports year with as many as 10-12 sports occurring simultaneously from baseball to men’s volleyball to golf to indoor track to gosh- knows-what. It’s also refreshing to welcome the initial 2004 NCAA Division II NCBWA poll to this month’s newsletter and to see some of the baseball teams from cooler weather regions migrating south for the annual ritual of spring break baseball. The incessant pings of the aluminum bats remind us that the sights and smells of springtime and conference baseball cannot be far off; enjoy and sneak out of the arenas when time permits for some great diamond activity. Sincerely, Jeff Hurd - NCBWA President - Western Athletic Conference NCBWA Division I Players of Week The NCBWA Division I National Players of the Week are into their third week of the 2004 season.

Add ACC to Preseason 2004 Prognostication: Georgia Tech Favored The Atlantic Coast Conference's nine head coaches selected Georgia Tech as the top pick to win the conference championship in 2004 with six first place votes and a total of 77 points. The Yellow Jackets return eight of nine position starters and a total of 20 letterwinners from a 2003 squad that captured the ACC Championship and finished the season with a 44-18 record, including a 17-7 league mark and a trip to the NCAA Baseball Championship. On the toes of the Yellow Jackets is Florida State who finished second with 61 points and a first place vote after finishing the 2003 season as the ACC regular-season champions. Clemson finishes in third place tallying 60 points and one first place vote. The Tigers finished last season with a 39-22 overall record and were the fourth seed at the ACC Tournament with a 15-9 conference record. The North Carolina Tar Heels fill the fourth place slot with 58 points, while NC State placed fifth in the balloting with 52 points. The Wolfpack was followed by Wake Forest who finished with 36 points and then Virginia with 28 points.

Ryan Gordon of UNC Greensboro, who finished fourth or better in four hitting categories in 2003, has been picked as the 2004 Preseason Player of the Year. Gordon, who doubled as both a pitcher and an outfielder, was 4-2 on the mound and finished the 2003 season with a 2.59 ERA. Offensively, Gordon contributed to the Spartans success in 2003 by leading the conference in hits with 96 and a .416 average. Gordon finished third in the conference with a .610 slugging percentage, 141 total bases and five triples. He also rapped 20 doubles and drove in 50 runs. UNC Greensboro’s Jarrett Santos has been named the SoCon’s Preseason Pitcher of the Year. Santos went 11-5 with a 3.30 ERA for the Spartans last season as a reliever. Santos ended the 2003 season leading the SoCon in appearances with 41 and second in the conference in strikeouts with 106. John Carroll (Georgia Southern), Scooter Michael (UNC Greensboro) and Derrick Hawk (Western Carolina) will join Santos on the 2004 Preseason All-Conference pitching staff. Carroll was 7-2 with a 3.75 ERA, Michael finished 6-5 with a 3.49 ERA and Hawk ended up 10-2 with a 2.86 ERA during the 2003 season. Joining Gordon in the outfield is UNCG teammate Jay Maule, Georgia Southern’s James Payne, and Davidson’s Sam Navarro. The infield includes first baseman Chip Cannon and third baseman Chris Ard of The Citadel, second baseman Todd Roper of Western Carolina, shortstop Andy Howdeshell of East Tennessee State, and catcher Derek Norman of Furman. Grant Burruss of Georgia Southern, who hit .348 last season, was the first team designated hitter.

The West Georgia Wolves have had a doozy of a road trip, not playing a game in the friendly confines of Grisham Stadium since the first game of the season on August 26. Since that time, the Wolves have traveled over 2600 miles, playing three different opponents with a combined record of 11-4 on the season. Last week, West Georgia's trip took them to Arkadelphia, AR, to take on the Henderson State Reddies. The Wolves mustered three field goals off of the foot of freshman kicker Casey Hale, but a late Reddie touchdown proved to be the game-winner, as HSU took the 16-9 victory. Against the Reddies, the Wolves faced a running quarterback in Garrett Manning, who rushed for 126 yards against West Georgia. In the Bison, UWG takes on the top running back in the Gulf South Conference in Kyle Wess.

ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.
